If you haven’t hear about them, then you have missed a lot of gist. Destined Kids was the group that sang hit songs like Joy Joy Joy, ABC – 123, Why Should I Fear, and many other hits. That year, if you were not vibing to their songs, you would not be making sense as a kid. You must just have either be pressured by your parents to memorise their song as your next Sunday special number or get intimidated by your friends who sing their songs.
Today, they have all grown up. But, I am sure that You must be wondering what could have that they seemed to disappear from our screens for so long after penetrating our hearts years back following their outstanding success in the gospel music industry in Nigeria as kids.
About Destined Kids
The Destined Kids stars are still alive, they’ve grown into responsible adults. Favour and Rejoice Iwueze are both married as at the moment.
